Ingredients

500g golden sultanas

500g dried cranberries

500g raisins

200g mixed peel

250g unsalted butter

2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp mixed spice

zest of 2 oranges

zest of 2 lemons

500g dark brown sugar

500ml amaretto liqueur

250ml Lahloo Earl grey tea

Put all the dried fruit and spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Place the zest, sugar, tea and amaretto in a pan and heat gently until sugar dissolves. Pour over mixed fruit and stir gently. Cover and allow to sit for two days. After two days pack it into sterilized jars -better when they mature in a cool dark place for a few weeks!
